+Max active channels
+-------------------
 
 By default, iviewer limits the maximum number of active channels to 10. Rendering high numbers of channels
 at once puts increased load on the server and it is rarely necessary to visualise more channels at once.
-If the iviewer is using the [image region microservice](https://github.com/glencoesoftware/omero-ms-image-region)
-then it will use the `max-active-channels` configured there, which is also 10 by default.
